Stress Relief after a BAD shift?

Nurses Stress 101

Published

Hello my fellow nurses!

Like all of us nurses, I know we all have our BAD shifts where everything under the sun can go wrong...so I was just curious, what do you guys do to relieve that stress after the shift is over?

I was thinking about joining a gun club so I could shoot off a couple rounds after a shift since I am not a drinker, smoker, or exerciser...haha! Then, I was wondering if that makes me psychotic because you know I'd imagine certain people's faces :D

Please share!

If I'm supposed to be back later that night, yoga before I go to sleep. If I'm not back, a long hot lavender bubble bath.
